This book introduces and discusses the works of leading feminist postcolonialist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, by exploring the key concepts and themes to emerge from them.
- Focuses on the key themes to emerge from Spivak’s work, such as ethics, literature, feminism, pedagogy, postcoloniality, violence, and war
- Assesses Spivak’s often contentious relationship with feminist and postcolonial studies
- Considers the significance of her work for other fields, such as ethnography, history, cultural studies and philosophy
"Overall, In Other Words represents an impressive effort by Ray to link, compress but also carefully reread a wide swath of Spivak's work. At times disorienting in its scope like the theorist's own work, Ray's book offers a sustained engagement with some of Spivak's most valuable insights and has me returning to her oeuvre with fresh eyes."
